Fujifilm Redesigns Sensors Due to Excessive Blooming

Imaging Resource reports that Fujifilm intends to re-design its latest sensors due to excessive blooming. The sensors are used in Fujifilm X10 and Fujifilm X-S1 cameras. Fujifilm USA said that this redesigned sensor should arrive in late May. A nice picture below shows 33-pixel sized blooming orbs in some conditions:
